Since I switched from my crop body (Canon 350D) to the 3D Mark III (great camera), I found that the Canon 50mm 1.4 I loved is not so good with portraits anymore, I replaced it with the Canon 85mm 1.8 which has a better reach but lots of chromatic aberrations at full aperture. I had high expectations in the in camera lens correction but it seems this lens is not supported (correction data not available).

Is there a list of the supported lenses ? Does anyone know if canon plan to support more lenses through a firmware update ?

Thanks,John

Not sure about the in-camera correction, but ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) also has a database of lenses that it can correct for. I just checked and it does appear to correct for the Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM lens.

Actually, the lenses are supported for chromatic aberrations...It's just the profiles for these lenses are not loaded into the 5d mark III by default...

Install the EOS Utility that comes with the camera...then connect the camera to your computer via USB. Open the EOS utility. Once open, click on Camera Settings then Lens Aberration Correction. A window will open with lenses listed. Check and uncheck lenses you want support for...I think there is a limit of 40...don't remember for sure. Once done, click Ok...The profiles will now be available in the camera now...

I did this once and checked that the lenses I have were checked and also checked a few I plan on getting in the future...

Use EOS Utility while connecting your camera to the pc, in 'camera setting/remote shooting' you can get the list with supported lenses. You will see the 85mm 1.8 in the list, just add it to the list for your camera. (not all the lenses are standard included into the camera list) Happy hunting afterwards
